Reviews
"Critically Sovereign is not only a necessary reading for those studying Indigenous politics, it should also be considered a required reading for scholars and activists who study race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and colonialism."
-- Brionca Taylor * Gender & Society *"Through a collective of brilliant voices, the essays in this book grapple with the significance of gender, sexuality, and politics with searing wisdom. Critically Sovereign gives readers a reason to hope for a decolonized tomorrow." -- Dianca Potts * Signature *
"A powerful and urgently needed anthology. . . . Critically Sovereign is an essential text for anyone engaged in feminist and queer theory or projects of decolonization." -- Stephanie Lumsden * American Indian Culture and Research Journal *
"Critically Sovereign offers a strong addition to scholarship or graduate-level coursework engaged with global feminisms. . . . Critically Sovereign provides a timely entry point into the seismic stakes and shifts within Native American and Indigenous studies." -- Kirisitina Sailiata * Feminist Review *
"This collection rejects the elimination of the Indigenous through the erasure of gender and sexuality. For the queer, femme, and two-spirit people at the center of Indigenous movements for autonomy and freedom, this is a deeply important project. Critically Sovereign is an opening salvo in what I hope is a burgeoning intellectual and intersectional field."
-- Anne Spice * Women's Studies Quarterly *
"For those of us seeking to grow our equity work in educational settings, reading essays like those in this collection allow us to privilege-check our own approaches. The denseness of the material aside, each piece acts as a motivator for equity work and as a reminder that this work cannot be done in a vacuum, and can never be complete without an understanding of intersectionality." -- Tracey Germa * Education Forum *
